Want to find any files and folders that are shared within their organization in each user’s OneDrive within their organization

In the current standard features for SharePoint Online, there is no feature or method by which administrators may fetch lists of files and folders that are shared within their organizations by each user’s OneDrive.
We can assign an administrator to the “administration” role if each user’s OneDrive, but by this method, it is only possible to check one at a time.
To avoid complicated management for internal regulations, etc., I hope the above process can be done on the GUI or with the standard PowerShell cmdlets.

For my personal account, i would like to have the option to share a file with a link by that it is not possible to download a copy of the file. So sharing a audiofile, pdf document, video etc. whitoit the possibility for the reciever to download the content.

We restrict the use of OneDrive for Business in our operation, and it is confirmed that we are not able to select the option [Browse notebooks] when adding a OneNote tab.
It is inconvenient that we cannot browse the files when adding a OneNote tab which is shared by SharePoint Online.

For improvement of usability, it will be nice if we could select the option [Browse notebooks] when adding OneNote tab even though the usage of OneDrive is restricted.

I desperately need to be able to organise shared files into my own folders without losing the shared access or editing ability. Currently, with no way of doing this, all I have is an ever expanding list of hundreds of shared files that make it impossible to locate anything. It seems ridiculous that this was not thought of in the design of One Drive. Google Drive does this - why can't One Drive? At least at the moment, my company hasn't taken away our Google Drive access. This is probably going to happen at the end of the year, and then my daily work will be an exercise in frustration at an inefficient system that has been imposed on me, which actually makes my job harder and slower.

If I grant the edit permission to a folder in OneDrive for Business and share the folder with another user, the shared user will be able to share the folder with other users by sending the [Share] link from the folder.

For improvement of manageability, add an option to restrict users who have no right to manage permissions from sending a shared link to other users.

When multiple external users access an Excel file on OneDrive for Business, their email address are automatically shown as workers.
Please consider making external users’ names anonymous to improve the usability.

Currently it seems to me that it is not possible for the originator of an anonymous file share to stay anonymous himself. The "Added" (by) folder information is still visible to everyone having the anonymous link.
Thanks!

Pictures come from a camera via my PC and from my phone. I organize folders on Android by the edit software I use. I organize photos on Windows by the subject. I can't make any sense out of how, let alone why, 1D merges and recombines the pictures and folders. Please, just have a folder for the source device, then folders under each device as they are on the device, and wtf is cameraroll all about?

Whenever I share video files to another person they have download access. I want to prevent my files from the download implement this feature it will help me in sharing and protecting my valuable data that rests on your server.

We noticed that as we share items on OneDrive for Business from Outlook client by using file attachment feature, the items will be shared with anonymous access links. Because of that reason, we cannot receive the alert when the shared users share those items with another user.

Therefore, I hope the feature will be implemented that can send alert emails to item’s owner even when sharing items on OneDrive for Business via Outlook client.

Thank you for your consideration.

I stopped syncing a shared document library but the folder remained in my file explorer.

Because the un-synced folder remained in explorer I accidentally deleted the other synced library, which deleted all of the files in the library. Removing the un-synced folder from explorer immediately would prevent this user error in the future.
